Day 001 - First day: rest!

Rest        Training via ActiveMail

IT'S A REST DAY: Welcome to your advanced half-marathon training program! To follow this program, you should be an advanced runner with some racing experience. Ideally, you have already completed a half-marathon or marathon or several 10Ks, and want to improve your time. If you meet all these criteria, eight weeks from now you'll be ready to try for a half-marathon PR! Always consult with your physician before starting any physical training program. You can start this program on any day of the week, but for best results, start on a Saturday (that is, today should be a Saturday). That's because the program includes several races, including one tomorrow, and these are usually held on Sundays. Today is a "rest" day, meaning a day that you take completely off from any training (as opposed to "recovery" days, which include easy running or cross training). We're taking today off because you're racing tomorrow to get your 10K time.
